I feel you get more

usually home hair coloring packs come with standard sizing for the solution but with Garnier Olia when applying the solution it covers more of my hair and i only have to buy one box, Ive got shoulder length hair (maybe a little longer) and is normal thickness and Ive always got left over solution, it gives great coverage and extra shine which i love which means i don't go through the whole conditioner in the first use.. the price is average but because it does such a good job it doesn't seem to bother me.. added bonuses for making the solution bottle attractive and sleek looking.

Tips: If you have left over solution don't throw it away put it in a dark place with glad wrap over the top to stop air getting into the bottle (make sure you don't keep it longer than 3 weeks) and touch up your hair it saves you buying another one next time you want to touch up that regrowth.. just shake the bottle to remix the solution.. please note that it may not be exactly the same colour as it has been sitting but its very close to it and you wont really notice

new fave!

Best home hair dye I have found! I got the 6.0 red aND absolutely love it!! Colour is amazing. When applying the bottle seemed to go forever. So much bang for your buck. There is plenty ty of dye there to cover absolutely every inch of your hair. Since it was my first time using it I didn't pre lighten my roots so I could see what it did, next time 8 will definitely lighten them. My hair is obviously the dark for the red to really take on. I have dark brown hair. This product has a very pleasant smell & application time is much less than other brands I've tried. No headaches is awesome! My hair felt silky smooth & soft after washing our mu colour! I will definitely be buying this again & recommending to those looking for an at home colour. After a second use I pre lightened and the colour is amazing!

Tips: For medium to dark brown I recommend lightening first.

Great hair dye!

This hair dye was amazing, made my hair feel really nice after washing it out, and didn't have any strands fall out during the process. It went really far and I actually had a lot left over at the end. For medium length hair, thick hair you usually need 2 packets to cover hair completely. But one was plenty. Absolutely recommend trying!

loved it

I didn't get to my emails on time so missed out on the trial but liked the look of it and no ammonia so bought to give a try I bought chocolate brown it was really great having no strong ammonia smell went a long way as I normally need two boxes due to curly thick hair unlike other dyes it didn't react with my skin as I have sensitive skin and didn't leave my hair frizzy and unmanageable which usually happens when I colour my hair so will not hesitate to buy again :-)

Beautiful Iced Chocolate Colour

I brought this colour from the local supermarket based on its price. For a hair colour this is very reasonably priced and the Garnier brand is a well known and trusted brand.

I found the colour was easy to apply and found that it covered all of those horrible greys. The box contained all the instructions on how to apply and were really easy to follow. The colour had a beautiful depth to it and it left my hair really glossy and soft. I found that the colour lasted well until my next colour which was six weeks later and then when I washed my colour in the following weeks after colouring that there wasn't a lot of wash out colour. The after conditioner smells devine and left my hair feeling soft and nourished. I continued to use the after shampoo once a week when washing and it lasted me around five weeks.

Tips: Definitely recommend this product. Awesome price point and easy to use.

Pleasantly Suprised!!!

I trialed Garnier Olia Hair Colour in shade 9.0 Light Blonde. When the packaged first arrived i thought it was a relatively big box compared to other brands, inside were 3 tubes, developer, colour cream and silk and shine conditioner along with an application bottle, the bottle was quite large with a sleek tear drop shape. While mixing the colour cream and developer i drastically noticed the difference in smells form other hair dyes, there were absolutely no harsh chemical smells or anything. upon applying the mixture the consistency was quite thick but it applied really well, spreading nicely through the roots of my hair. I had no tingling sensation on my scalp and no stinging eyes while the dye was on my head at all, i had a bit of pink colour left through my hair and i didnt expect it to lift very well but after applying i literally watched it disappear infront of my eyes!!! i left the colour on for an hour in total as i have quite stubborn roots. The mixture was easy to wash out and the conditioner had great coverage, i was able to get another two-three applications out of the tube. After drying my hair i was absolutely blown away!! There was not one single trace of pink left in my hair and my roots had were pretty much the same colour as the rest of my hair, which was the exact colour i was wanting, no brassy tones, no yellow nothing!! I could not believe it, i am so so super happy with this product, it will deff be my go to at home hair dye from now on! My hair is noticeably healthier, its shiny and the ends feel amazing. A great suprise considering i have always been so hesitant to try this dye! Go Garnier!!

I forgot to add that the one downfall i did find was with the shape of the applicator bottle, whilst it looked great, while i was colouring my hair i had a few moments of finding it hard to hold a steady grip of the bottle due to the tear drop shape.

Silky smooth hair

I have quite damaged hair from years of mistreating it, and because of bleaching and not being able to get my natural colour back I find myself dying over it way too often. When I was given the opportunity to review this product, of course I took the offer up and chose red because I know that is a colour that suits me. I was quite hesitant on putting something that used oils into my hair instead of ammonia. I knew that it would be better for my hair, but it also seemed like it would make my hair look greasy. I was very happily surprised when my hair didn't look greasy, it just looked incredibly shiny and felt very soft. The dye made my hair very easy to manage and smelled amazing and fruity. The container you use the dye in itself is a great shape to use yourself while wearing gloves, it helps with stopping the bottle from slipping out of your hand. The box also has a handy pop out part in the back so you can sit the container in it while mixing the colour to stop it from tipping. I would definitely go with this range again for permanent home colouring.

Tips: Use Vaseline around your hairline to prevent staining to the skin, or use a baby wipe/make-up wipe to remove any that has gone on your face, ears, and neck straight after putting the dye in.

Amazing vibrant lasting Colour.

I have had Deep Red in my hair for a week now and I am so impressed.

It was simple and quick to mix together & apply to my hair. No real chemical smell which I was grateful for. I wasn't so happy with the gloves in the box for use but they did the job but for me they didn't accommodate long fingers to well. Washing out the creme was a breeze it did stick to my scalp a little but within 2 days it was fine.

The conditioner supplied is quite a lot and a week later a several washes later I'm still using it with my colour protect shampoo too.

Normally with other dyes after a week I can start seeing my grey hairs in places yet with Garnier Olia my hair is still red and no signs of greys anywhere.

I think I have found my new fav brand when dying my hair at home, I've even got a friend trying it now today after seeing how awesome it is.

Tips: Follow the directions... & to keep colour well use colour protect shampoos.

Garnier Olia Frosty Chestnut

I hadn't coloured my hair for about 18mnths before using this. I picked a shade that was pretty close to my natural colour but went a shade darker. I did the patch test and did get a little itchiness after about 24hrs but decided to go ahead anyway as it wasnt too bad. Apart from the box falling apart when I tried to put the bottle in the slot for mixing, it all went really well. My hair feels great and there was no harsh chemical smell. It also provides you with a deep conditioner which should last for a few washes. Overall, very happy with results, it did cover all my greys which makes me even happier! It was easy to use and not very messy at all. The colour is rich and very natural looking. I would definitely use this again.

Tips: Make sure you punch out the hole in the box BEFORE trying to put the mixing bottle in it. I had my hair cut first just to make sure I didn't waste any of the product.

Garnier Olia permanent hair colour

Huge box with a really cool developer-colour bottle really easy to grip and squeeze out great idea with the hole in the box to hold the bottle.Good amount of conditioner to follow up with.I was really surprised at the nice floral smell no eye watering nose hair burning smell just lovely like a conditioner.I have long thick hair I used one packet but it wasn't enough so come payday I raced out and got another one.First thing I did when I got home was start mixing the colour then in my hair I did find it hard to work through hair but I got there wait 30 mins then wash out and use conditioner supplied so exciting could hardly wait for my hair to dry.I asked hubby how does it look any better answer I don't now your looking in the mirror. I love love love the colour it's darker than what I expected but really nice and rich colour.My hair feels and looks so much .The dye wipes off your face, ears and neck easily with a baby wipe I also spilt some on the carpet and didn't see it for two days so I grabbed a couple off baby wipes and it came straight out (phew) I am so glad I got to try this my hair looks great thanks BR your awesome I love this colour deep violet ♡would definitely recommend it is one of the nicest,kindest dye of all the ones I have tried !!!

Tips: If your hair is longer than shoulder lenght you will need two boxes but it's worth it. ♡♡
